Though Rollins was able to leave Summerslam as the new Universal Champion, one Superstar who wasn’t so lucky was Natalya, who came up short in her Submissions match against RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. On RAW this week, the Hart family member revealed she suffered a dislocated elbow during the match, and is scheduled for an MRI.

Natalya also spoke about her father Jim Neidhart, who passed away one year ago today, though her emotional words didn’t stop Sasha Banks finally making her return to WWE TV. After being absent since WrestleMania 35, the Boss hugged Natalya, but showed a new mean streak by attacking the already-injured Superstar.

Pulling off her purple wig to reveal she now has blue hair underneath, Banks didn’t stop, and even though RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch came to make the save, she too suffered Sasha’s wrath, being level with a series of steel chair shots. The first heel turn for Banks in over three years, the Boss clearly felt good about what she did, and has put herself in front of the line for possible opponents for The Man’s Championship.

With Lynch’s reign now heading into its sixth month, it may finally be time for a new champion to emerge, as having Banks beat The Man in her first PPV back would really establish a new top heel in the RAW Women’s Division.

If she does become champion, hopefully, her reign will mean something, as though Sasha is a four-time former RAW Women’s Champion, each of these reigns has been incredibly short
